Save KC's life: NHRC to government

KATHMANDU: National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has made an appeal to the government to help save the life of agitating  Govinda KC.

The veteran orthopedic surgeon has been staging fast-unto-death at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital at Maharajgunj in Kathmandu for the 11th time demanding an end to  the anomalies prevalent in the medical sector in the country.

In a press statement issued by Commission's Secretary Bed Bhattarai on Thursday, the rights watchdog appealed to the government to take initiatives to save KC's life and urged for the complete and effective implementation of the past agreements government made with him to ensure reforms in the medical education sector.

The health of the protesting bachelor medico is reportedly deteriorating.
